well, I used 303 on the ebony dash, and I kinda see what OP is saying. it's not pronounced but it might be a little more than what it was when new. just remember that this isn't what I'd call a normally 'shiny' dash to begin with. it has a very low gloss when new and almost a slightly rubbery feel with nothing on it.
my guess ( and it's just a guess) since all plastics release solvents into the air, whatever you're using may be reacting with the plastics very slightly. try the 303 and see if it helps.
I'm going to go and wash off my dash with very clean water and rag several times. and then re-apply 303. we'll see if that helps.

I think ? is unanswered.
My car is a 'vert & stays in the garage 90% of the time, I do drive top down a lot, but when I park the car top goes up. Anyway, I have never used an actual cleaning product, just warm clean water on a microfiber towel & I get the white hazing on the dash & door panels (too a much lesser extent). I thought it might be mold. So this is common? In my case it's definately not a by product of cleaning products. Any body else have an answer?

I've found that Mcguiars water based ultimate interior cleaner/protectant seems to cut down on the white film, but its pretty common in C6s, at least with the ebony interiors. It is easy enough to clean up (also use plain water or water with ~10% non-sudsing ammonia) but will reappear in short order. YMMV
